Voya Signature Partnerships

Junior Achievement

By working with volunteers, educators, parents and others, Junior Achievement seeks to educate and inspire students to value free enterprise and economics to improve the quality of their lives. Voya Foundation has partnered with Junior Achievement USA as well as working with select Junior Achievement chapters to help teach children the basics of saving and investing. In particular, we support JA’s Discovery Center Finance Park program, an experiential financial literacy center where students learn about saving, budgeting, household expenditures, and investments based on life’s stages, income and family composition. This program has reached thousands of children since its inception and has engaged countless employees of Voya Financial as volunteer educators to provide the award-winning JA curriculum to children. Voya Foundation also funded the JA Influencer, an online resource to help students better understand the economics of topics including workforce readiness, college, careers, entrepreneurship and more.

Voya Teacher Voices also includes Voya Unsung Heroes®, which recognizes those classroom heroes who take teaching to new heights and make learning fun. Each year, Voya Financial presents 100 Unsung Heroes grants totaling $240,000 to help fund innovative classroom projects nationwide.
